This is "French style" kitchen knife.
Stainless steel (440). Hand forged from round bar from one piece. Tapered tang.
Blade is 6-1/2" long, 1" wide, 1/8" thick near the bolster and evenly tapered to the tip. It is ~1/32 at the tip. Hardened to ~54HRC and tempered as a spring. It is flexible but not flimzy.
Walnut sculpted scales with 3 brass rivets. Rivets has a Nickel Silver heads. I made very simple engraving on them. Finished with tung oil.
It has a simple pouch to keep from scratches and to prevent cutting yourself. This one came out very sharp, so puch was really required.
I ask $135 shipped CONUS via Insured Priority Mail.
Pay-Pal preferred.

A real beauty. I don't know how you do it with the stainless, but you seem to do it.
 
"simple engraving" I like that. My simple engraving would look like my 2 year old daughter did it with a crayon. Very nice work and a very good price. Out of curiosity, how hot do you have to get stainless in order to forge it?
 
Thank you Scott. My score is pretty poor now. Not many knifes to show. But I am working on it... *)
 
Oh bummer. I've been waiting for months for your next offering. I've loved every piece you've put up, and I seem to be a day late every time.

That's a beauty. Can I be second in line if the deal falls thru please?
 
Got it.

The knife is really nice. No - really, really nice.

It has an integral bolster - hand forged!

Amazing.

Thanks a lot. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.
